族群认同的血缘性重建--以海村京族人为例

本文对1949年以来海村京族人族群意识的变化进行了考察。认为,客观文化特征的不断消退,族际交流与族群互动的日益频繁,族群认同上功利性取向的不断增加以及“法定”的民族属性对京族认同的冲击,使海村京族人的族群认同面临表述上的危机。为了应对这种危机,海村京族人不得不重新利用血缘关系的不可替代性来重新构建其族群认同,并以此为基础复兴京族传统文化,强化族群成员的族群意识。     

Outward bound: a treatment modality unexplored by the social work profession.

The Outward Bound Experience has a strong yet time-limited impact on delinquent youths. Social workers could help maintain the impact by establishing community-based followup programs that would reinforce and sustain the positive attitudes and behaviors developed.     

Preparing the school-age child for adoption.

The development of an adoptive relationship for children who have been in the limbo of foster care is a continuous process. It is unrealistic to expect these families to live happily ever after. Agencies must begin developing regular services to meet the special needs of the families being created. To a large extent the issues that will have to be worked through relate to the stages of preparation outlined in this paper. Each stage in the child's growth may activate unresolved issues around the grief at the biological parents' rejection, confusion about identity or difficulty in working through problems. Future adoptive home recruitment must take this into account by providing training and other supports to families considering adopting the older child.     

A graph-theoretical approach to the aggregation of individual preference orderings

A graph-theoretical approach as first outlined by Harary et al. is developed for solving the problem of aggregating a given set of individual preference orderings provided that no individual preferential judgment is inconsistent with the collective preference ordering obtained by aggregation.
